Don’t brush too harshly to avoid tooth erosion!

24/08/2022

Dental experts warn that toothpaste can damage the smoothness of the tooth surface and cause discolouration and erosion, so it is advisable to choose toothpaste with smaller particles of friction and not to brush too hard.

Toothpaste is a necessary aid when brushing teeth. It cleans the teeth by repeatedly rubbing the granular friction material on the surface of the teeth to remove the attached food residue. Almost all toothpastes today contain friction agents.

These rubbing agents are rubbed on the surface of the teeth two or three times a day. The prolonged rubbing destroys the smoothness of the tooth surface and makes it easier for some food residues and pigments to adhere to the surface of the teeth, making it easier for discolouration and erosion to form.

The cells that make teeth disappear on their own once the teeth are well developed and do not regenerate for life. Therefore, damage to the surface of the tooth cannot be repaired and the damage is permanent. 

Experts recommend choosing toothpaste with smaller particles of friction and not brushing too hard, and having regular check-ups with a medical professional for guidance on brushing products and methods.
